She stays current on medical advancements and changes in her field, and I am very confident in her competence. I also appreciate that Dr Gregorio listens and explains things clearly. She allows me to be a partner in my own health care, advising without chastising. Another thing I really love is that office staff actually answer the phone at Estrella Internal Medicine and Geriatrics - a rarity these days! Thank you, Dr Gregorio and your awesome team!

Wow, people do not appreciate my doctor for the excellent physician she is. So since I was a…read moremedical office manager and a professional medical transcriptionist for more years than I care to think about. I know a good physician when I see one. So I am writing this review, as I find it hard to believe some of the negative remarks I have read in reviews of her office. So I want to put some things straight. I am retired. TYG (Thank you God.) I think I need to explain some things. Doctor Gregorio is an Internist who specializes in medicine for the aged. That is what Geriatrics means. Not every physician specializes in medicine for the aged. I am 69 years old. I know old when I see it. I don't want to see a pediatrician. Although, kids and old folks have different requirements than your run of the mill adult, and react differently to medication. There are a few medications that I took for years and can no longer take because of the changes in my body, and my body's chemistry. Dr. Gregorio is more likely to know all of that kind of stuff and takes really good care of me. Plus, I have a complex medical history and I have some complex medical issues, most seniors do. To give you an example, I live in a senior community and I listen to people talk about their medical problems and how long it takes for them to get an appointment with their doctors. The average is 4 to 6 weeks. Guess how long it takes me to see my doctor, as long as it is Monday through Friday between 9:00am and 5:00 pm, and I have a problem, I get in my car and go to her office. She told me she is my ER between those hours. If it is after 6:00pm or Saturday or Sunday, to go to the ER, they will get a hold of her. I feel that this is a workable solution to all of my medical issues. She also has referred me to some excellent physicians in other specialist fields. I have several. They actually seem to talk to each other which also makes me very happy, medically speaking. There is something else she does, she teaches medical assistants and nurses, yes she does. Good physicians are not "Doc in the Boxes," and as far as answering medical questions she prefers face to face not on the phone where things can be misconstrued or misunderstood. I happen to agree with her. So, if her phone is busy or they don't answer on the second ring, she takes walk-ins if you are already her patient. What that means to you folks who haven't seen her yet is you have to make an appointment for your first visits, you might even have to go in twice for that first visit because she will probably be wanting some blood work and other fun things like that so she can get a base line on your medical needs and she will want to talk to you about it. So, if the office cannot answer your call on the second ring stay on the line they will get to you, and if you want my opinion, and even if you don't, you should wait until they get to you on the phone. I sleep better at night because she is my doctor. You would sleep better at night too if she were your doctor. Last and not least of the things I read, "She should get off of her lap top." Sorry I had to laugh at that. She will never be able to do that. You no longer have a paper chart folks, your medical records are now in that big computer in the sky. Why you may ask? Thank your government for that. It is now all EHR that stands for Electronic Health Records, she is writing her notes about your office visit, she does a good job of it, some are still struggling with that. There are some advantages and disadvantages to EHR. Remember hurricane Katrina, New Orleans was under water, and all of the medical records were destroyed due to flooding, all those medical records are gone. EHR go to a server that may or may not even be in the same state as you and your doctor. So don't worry about her and her lap top. She is entering her notes while it is fresh in her mind, just like she used to write in your chart, as a matter of fact she is typing in your chart. I just thought I would explain that.

I had to make a last minute dr's appt for some dizziness I've been feeling for the past few weeks…read more After calling dr's offices for HALF AN HOUR, St. Joseph's Internal Medicine Clinic was one of the few places where I didn't have to sit through a long automated system before I finally got to talk to a real person to make an appt. And they were also one of the few that had appt availability within the week. They do use residents and nurse practitioners, so sometimes you will see them instead of a dr. But I have felt confident in their assessment, diagnosis, and care. Plus, the resident is working under a doctor who will double check the diagnosis. And the nurse practitioner will also sometimes pull in a doctor to confirm her diagnosis. I like that they are pretty prompt with appointments (I always get taken back within 10 minutes of arriving) and when I had to get a blood test done, it was easy to just walk across the hallway to do it. I will probably use this clinic as my primary care office in the future bc of the ease and availability of making appointments.

My best friend, wise counselor, intelligent organizer of all things, and lovely wife of 24 years was born a member of the Hopi Tribe. Though born in Phoenix and an Arizona Valley Girl, her parents were children of Hopi Culture Carriers. Search "Hopi Alcatraz" and you will see a story about her ancestors refusing to allow their children to be removed to government boarding schools. So... Fathers were imprisoned and the children sent to government boarding schools. Lots of children sent to boarding schools. Lots of children removed to homes in distant cities. You can cut hair, discipline native language use out of daily use, force English-only, stop ceremonies, and sit kids in pews, listening to sermons and reading holy books. The Geology of Culture supports the vegetation of life's new ways. My wise, intelligent, and lovely new family changed my culture, teaching me how to care for family in serious medical events. Over the past 21 years I have spent more than a year's time, 24/7 in hospitals, acute care, skilled nursing, physical therapy, senior living, memory care and other cares. Another fork in the road, just a cul de sac. If interested search "Hazel Lumley Umtuch Olney." We began Hazel mistrusting me. I helped her with a project. Soon she said, "We're gonna Indianize you chris." Last time I saw her we greeted eachother as long lost dear friends. My Indianizing; no, Humanizing, continues to this moment.

Team focused on bone repair begins assembling: Team managing physician, many nursing staff - from general care to Specialist nurses. Orthopedic Surgeon, attending surgeon more imaging techs and specialists, anaesthesiologist. Team assembled onformation (data), consults, created surgery and recovery plan. Patient prepped in pre-op. Family Consult with Orthopedic surgeon. Half hour procedure, attending surgeon closes. Recovery room staff takes over from there. Wait for orthopedic surgeon to complete two previously booked surgeries. Total of three nursing staff prep patient in the middle of a shift change. As patient is sedated, blood pressure plummets. Surgery cancelled, patient returns to consciousness in recovery bay. I get a very polite, honest, pointed communication regarding my presence in a Restricted Area without an official escort.

As a provider, he's average and the interaction was awkward. 1. The front office staff felt like their curse-word infused, personal conversations were more important than checking me in, waiting 5 minutes as they chatted as I stood in view. 2. Dr. Paxton was 1 hour late to the appointment. I should have left at this point. 3. I was very specific about getting a preventative, physical exam and he said "They don't pay me to perform wellness exams" which led me to ask "should I be here then?" and him assuring me I should be. Uhhh okay? 4. The office incorrectly billed my insurance and they blamed my insurance for processing their codes as outside of my covered services which led me to having a bill when I shouldn't have. Their billing person is conveniently located remotely, so you can only get ahold of her if she calls you. This seems a little intentional. I filed a formal complaint/appeal with my insurance as I found this visit a waste of my time and money filled with unprofessionalism and billing errors. I've never left a doctor appointment more disappointed than when I left Dr. Paxton's office.
